I've noticed lately that I seem to have a lot of friends who cannot understand me & the way I live my life. That's fine, we're all different, but lately I've felt so much pressure. Questions after questions. Demanding to know when I will have a baby, when my hubby & I will buy a house and where will it be, etc. Sorry to let you all down but I live in the moment. I'm happy that way. If you can't handle it, then that's your problem, I say. You have fun with your 5 year plan & constantly living in the future. I won't settle for less just because that's what society says you're "meant" to do. I'm not saying I don't want some of these things, but I'm sure as hell not going to stress about it right this second and I don't need my friends telling me how I'm "supposed" to live my life. I've never understood why people make life decisions based on what they think they're meant to do at a certain age with complete disregard for what they actually "want" to do. Such a shame really....

Does anyone else feel this pressure from friends, family, society in general?

Sydney has been experiencing some of the strangest weather. One moment it's warm & lovely, the next, winds that leave you chilled to the bone! Today was perfect though. This evening I stepped outside into a dreamy breeze and was hit by the scent of Jasmine in the air - my favourite thing about this time of year. A smile immediately lit up my face.

A while back I was lucky enough to have a little sunshine bestowed upon me by the gorgeous Claudia of The Paris Apartment in the form of an award known as the sunshine award. I adore Claudia's blog & all things Parisian, so do pay her a visit, you won't regret it!

Instead of answering the same questions about myself I decided to share more about moi in the form of quotes. I believe all the quotes above will let you into my world, my looking glass...

Pardon my French ~ yes, at times I truly do have a potty mouth.

Mermaids ~ I have no interest in or perhaps just feel sorry for those who lead a shallow existence.

Dusty Corners of My Mixed Up Soul ~ I found that person when I was just 14 and we never let each other go.

Hermia ~ I played her once. A favourite character of mine. I am a tiny person but on the inside I am most definitely fierce. This quote sums me up to a T.

Dita ~ I adore this quote. I won't say I never have bad days, but I am very comfortable in my own skin & I know that I don't need to be everything to everyone. I'm the ripest, juiciest peach for some!

Oscar ~ I played Lady Windermere once & I have a special love of this play. I love all of Oscar Wilde's plays. I'm a very positive person & think of this quote often.
